  1. RQSum: sum of the individual risk quotients of the initial mixture. MAFfactor, MAFexact, MAF90%: MAF values calculated according to the different algorithms (see text). Value: numerical value of the MAF, Res. Risk: residual risk, i.e., the sum of the risk quotients after applying the MAF. NAS: number of affected substances, i.e., number of substances for which the initial risk quotient needs to be reduced
  2. The investigated mixtures comprised 20 substances (adults) and 17 substances (children), respectively. For details, see Socianu [29]
